I have disappeared again but I promise that you will see me here more often now. And more of me too :) After this brief introduction I'd like to tell you about some things that have recently impressed me.

Natural oils: argan, avocado and coconut. I practically replaced the traditional cosmetics with them and I'm extremely happy with the results. It started a few months ago with argan oil. I'm sure that you've already heard a lot about this 'magic' oil. I've been using it instead of facial and eye creams and I must admit - it's fantastic. I've been also using avocado oil with rosehip (in turns with argan oil) and coconut oil instead of body lotion.

Biography of Helena Rubinstein- speaking of cosmetics, I've read the biografy of Helena Rubinstein 'The woman who invented beauty'. Although I had heard quite a lot about the book itself before I didn't know much about Madame (as she used to be called). This extraordinary, ruthless lady was born in the end of the 19th century in Cracow to a modest, Jewish family. Thanks to her diligence, determination and unique business vision ahead of her time she revolutionised beauty industry and built a cosmetics empire that spanned the world. You can read her biography in one sitting.

Spotify - music streaming service. A great way to listen to the whole algums of your favourite artists, as well as getting to know the new ones.

'The Glamour of Italian Fashion' exhibition in Victoria & Albert Museum - presents Italian fashion from the end of the Second World War to the present day. Fashion has been an Italian trademark and export good for years, as it was well known for its excellent quality and style. Nowadays, the reputation of Italian fashion companies and fashion houses has suffered mainly due to political scandals, economic crisis, Chinese factories. The exhibition tries to find the answer to the question what will 'Made in Italy' mean in future.
